Sustainable biosynthesis of chemicals from methane and glycerol via reconstruction of multi‐carbon utilizing pathway in obligate methanotrophic bacteria

Summary Obligate methanotrophic bacteria can utilize methane, an inexpensive carbon feedstock, as a sole energy and carbon substrate, thus are considered as the only nature‐provided biocatalyst for sustainable biomanufacturing of fuels and chemicals from methane. To address the limitation of native...
